Find and circle all of the weather words that are hidden in the grid. The words may be hidden in any direction. BLIZZARD CLOUDS COLD DRIZZLE FOG FREEZE FROST HAIL HOT ICE LIGHTNING RAIN SLEET SNOW STORM SUNNY THUNDER TORNADO WINDY A cloud is a large collection of tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are so small and light that they can float in the air. DRAW A LINE TO THE CORRECT CLOUD PICTURE. CUMULUS Puffy clouds that look a lot like cotton balls in the sky. STRATUS Flat looking clouds that can stretch across the sky like a blanket. CIRRUS Wispy clouds that are feathery looking. CUMULONIMBUS Tall clouds that contain lightning. CLOUDS are white because they reflect the light of the sun. They sometimes can become dark when sunlight is blocked by the raindrops in the clouds. HUMIDITY tells us how much Use the code below to reveal the secret word: Write answer here. water vapor (which is invisible) is in the air. When water vapor rises it gets cooler and forms into clouds that you can see. If water droplets in the clouds get big enough, gravity pulls them down as rain. SUNLIGHT looks white but it is actually made up of many different colors. The earth’s atmosphere (or air) is made up of tiny gas molecules. The gas molecules are so small that you can’t see them. When sunlight hits the molecules, they only reflect blue light. This blue light is scattered in every direction and that is what makes the sky look blue. When sunlight passes through raindrops, the raindrops reflect all of the colors of light like a prism. When you look at a rainbow the sun is always behind you and the rainbow is directly opposite to the sun. The main colors of a rainbow are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet . You can remember this by memorizing the name Roy G. Biv . LIGHTNING is static electricity that goes between a cloud and the ground or between two clouds. Lightning is caused when raindrops and ice crystals rub against each other in a cloud. Alabama’s extreme summer heat and humidity cause lots of dangerous lightning. BE SAFE ! Stay indoors and away from tall objects during a thunderstorm. play tic tac toe with and . Lightning’s temperature is 54,000°F which is five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Lightning strikes somewhere on the surface of the earth 100 times every second. Play Meteorologist for a week. Keep track of the weather by watching 1. Which day had the HIGHEST temperature? 2. Which day had the LOWEST temperature? 3. How many days were SUNNY ? 4. How many days were CLOUDY? 5. Which day had the most RAIN ? . HURRICANES are large spinning storms that can be hundreds of miles wide and have winds of 74 to 200 m.p.h. They get their energy from warm ocean water and begin to weaken when they move over land or colder water. They are the only type of storm to have an “eye,” which is a calm center. HELP the hurricane hunter plane find the “eye” of the storm! Hurricane hunter planes fly right into the eye of the storm to measure winds and pressure so we know where the storm is and how strong it is.
